The assignment here is simple: share your thoughts on the book. There's only one catch...your post must be written as a poem! Follow the instructions to post your own poem or to respond to someone else's poem.

Instructions:

Share your poem. OR reply to someone else's poem.

If you're posting a new poem, add it to the bottom of the list AND use black text.

If you're posting a poem as a reply to someone else, add it beneath their poem AND change your text so it's blue.

Be sure to include your first name and school at the end of your post. (UPA students, include your teacher's name, too).

Be careful when you're commenting that you don't accidentally delete anyone else's poem.

Beginnings
By Mr. Curran UPA Detroit, MI

I love
how the book
begins
with Jack expressing
his dislike
for poetry. I wonder
if a lot of boys
feel
this way.
I don't.
I wonder
if Jack will
change
his mind.

This is just a thought (tijat for short)

dog......................
Ends
talking about
a dog...............
And there is
talk about dogs
in the middle..................
